    As an American born and raised in a stable democracy I thought I was going to write an essay in opposition of black-market sweatshops‚ but I was wrong. Americans have been brought up to see sweatshops as immoral and degrading. We ’ve only seen one side of the story and that ideal has been reinforced for generations. Learning about sweatshops from another point of view has opened my eyes. I still see sweatshops as corrupt but also a necessary evil. For all the misery they can engender‚ sweatshops
